Imagine that Digistamp May 2017 link-up No. 2


I normally only enter once in a challenge, but after reading the rules, I decided to add another card I made using the coloured version of Teacup Pansies.  I know it's probably cheating because I always like to colour images myself, but I just loved the colours Kristy used on the pansies and I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how my little printer stood up to the test.

Imagine that Digistamp May 2017 link-up


For this month's link-up I have chosen Bloom Where you are Planted http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/store/p206/Bloom_Where_You_Are_Planted.html
This is such a lovely stamp and I chose to make a clean and simple card.  I coloured with Copics and wouldn't you agree, the boots on the fence really pop just by colouring.  Thank you again to Kristy Beach for her amazing talent.  I just love the Imagine that Digistamp store http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

Gerda Steiner Designs - May 2017 Progressive challenge

Scrapper's Delights Thursday Inspiration 18th May 2017

For my inspiration project this month, I have used Sunflower 2 Digi stamp available here
http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_161&products_id=740
As we have just had Mother's Day I chose to make this card, but the image is perfect to act as a frame for a clean and simple birthday card or any sort of card that just needs a simple verse or message in the centre of the frame of flowers.  I didn't feel I had to add any other embellishments to take away from the beauty of this stamp.

Aussie Digital Artists Challenge No. 4 - May 2017


I could not resist entering another of Sasayaki Glitter's images in this challenge.  I found the paper in my stash (of course) along with a pregnancy brad and decided to lift it up a bit by attaching to a button.  I thought the paper I used was perfect for a Pregnancy Congratulations card as it was colour appropriate for someone who chooses not to know whether the baby is a girl or boy, but then again, going by today's standards, maybe she does know and just doesn't want to tell us!  What do you think?  Be sure to check out Naz's Etsy shop, Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps.  She has some great images and there are so many to choose from.  I am heading over there again before Mother's Day, as she has a great special for us mums I just can't resist.  Check out https://www.facebook.com/Sasayaki-Glitter-Digital-Stamps-1683362591888560/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf for details.

Aussie Digital Artists Challenge 4 - May 2017


For this month's challenge over at Aussie Digital Artists, I have used a Sasayaki Glitter image called "Raining Heart".  I have made a birthday card for a friend's grand-daughter, of course using one of my favourite colours Purple. 

Scrapper's Delights Thrifty Thursday 4th May 2017


This month's Progressive Challenge freebie image at Scrapper's Delights is "Anna Mae 4" and what a cutie she is.  Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for the details https://www.facebook.com/groups/376140345820051/.  I went with the "sweet theme" for this card and used a flair from my stash.  I used Copics for colouring and printed Anna Mae twice - once with an oval shape and then again without and used foam tape to give her that little lift.  A perfect birthday card for that sweet little girl in your life.  I hope you enjoy creating with Anna Mae 4 in May just as much as I did.
